Me:\u00a0 Howdy, Prodigal!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 That is in interesting piece of art.\u00a0 Something different.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 I would agree with that.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

E.E. Cummings\u00a0 states this<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

God made us different for a reason and He loves us even if we don’t seem to measure up to someone else.\u00a0 He also loves us when we seem to be alone in how we act as long as our hearts are full of love.\u00a0 I am glad that you are different!\u00a0 It makes life interesting!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jeremiah 32:28<\/p>\n

And they shall be my people, and I will be their God.<\/p>\n
